2017 Playoffs - Astros electronic sign stealing - Now Astros fire Luhnow and Hinch

Glad he is doing well bit it really is depressing. Better management and he could have ended his career with detroit with championships and titles . We just had shitty management that never really understood how to build a complete team sadly,

I think we had a complete team.. At one time we had the best pitching rotation in MLB. Good hitting too. No one has top to bottom awesomeness. But getting to two world series means we had a well built team.

Defense and Base Running are huge in the playoffs. Except for 2006, DET has been one of the worst in the AL in both areas. Add to the fact our catchers have been consistently near the bottom at pitch framing and you wonder how the pitcher survived. Bad defense. Bad pitch framing. Bad Bull pen. If I were a DET starter, I would want to get the heck out of town.

The offense looks good. Until they get picked off on a dumb mistake or those constant GIDP. It is like the team that boasts being able to get into the red zone, but when they do, they get the crucial holding or personal foul pushing them back out to the 35 or 40. The offense racks up their stats while piling on, but has difficulty scratching out a key run late in a game. It is all smoke and mirrors.

I'll bet networks are loving these matchups!

Eastern Seaboard Preferential Network is loving it, the only thing better being the redsux vs wankers in the ALCS. 3 of the 4 cities get special exclusive treatment on its website, while the cities in the SE/South, NW, and Central/Mountain receive none whatsoever.

One of the best postseason starts I?ve seen in a long time, what a game. I?d love to see the TV ratings for Astros playoffs games in Michigan compare to the other 3 teams, especially on games where JV pitches. Cubs are probably quite high on the list as well given the Chicago fans in the SW part of the state.

Like I said well built team (2006). Houston didn't get good overnight.. They had to endure much. And in the past 11 years overall, they certainly have had more success than many many teams.

why would ESPN care? They don't have the games
 
Dang Turner's Homer was 29 years to the day of Gibson's Homer . Baseball and all sports have some damn good amazing stats. With baseball leading the way.

gotcha. It's been a few months since the incident. I don't remember the part about Judge. All I remember is Sanchez trying to hit guys that were on the ground a few times.

The player that pissed me off the most is Betances. A few sucker punches in a brawl are expected and relatively harmless. But 100 MPH pitches to the head are potentially life threatening.

Bettances and Kahnle from the fastballs to the head in July, iirc Mahtook and another 1 or 2 Tigers batters when they played and the August game we speak of.
What pissed me off even more was that those pitchers did not get any suspensions along with Judge for his part in the 3 brawls. FU Joe Torre.
Fuck the yankees.

Unfortunately, they won tonight and have won 19 of 22 at the band box in new york.

Verlander needs another big game in shutting down ny. Then a game 7.
Thing with the astros is their bullpen is Tigers bullpen 2.0
If it goes to a game 7, who will pitch for them? McCullers? and they stopped hitting these past 3 games. Hopefully playing in Houston will get them back on track.
